First time post here.
I have an LAN with 2 computers on it, one PC, one Laptop, both running XP SP2, and both connect the the internet through the LAN. Recently my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) has suddenly stopped being able to access anything beyond the LAN. This isn't a new setup, nor did I recently make any changes to the settings. The PC still connects to the internet no problem.
I can ping both ways from my PC and back. However, I cant access anything beyond my LAN from my laptop, either through Firefox, or even trying to ping websites, I get a 'could not find host www.google.ca type message'
So, I ran a full virus scan (AVG, database updated 12 days ago, before the problems started) which turned up nothing. I swapped cables with my PC to test that, and it turned up nothing. I ran this (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html) winsock fix, to no avail. I also ran the one from Microsoft with equal success. I also tried releasing and refreshing manually (if that makes any sense) to no avail.
So, in my non-tech mind I figure I have a software problem, since the connection to the LAN appears good, and the LAN itself seems fine.
Thoughts?
Thanks
